Induction and Maintenance of Synaptic PlasticityGraupner, Michael 18 June 2008 (has links)
Synaptic long-term modifications following neuronal activation are believed to be at the origin of learning and long-term memory. Recent experiments suggest that these long-term synaptic changes are all-or-none switch-like events between discrete states of a single synapse. The biochemical network involving calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) and its regulating protein signaling cascade has been hypothesized to durably maintain the synaptic state in form of a bistable switch. Furthermore, it has been shown experimentally that CaMKII and associated proteins such as protein kinase A and calcineurin are necessary for the induction of long-lasting increases (long-term potentiation, LTP) and/or long-lasting decreases (long-term depression, LTD) of synaptic efficacy. However, the biochemical mechanisms by which experimental LTP/LTD protocols lead to corresponding transitions between the two states in realistic models of such networks are still unknown. We present a detailed biochemical model of the calcium/calmodulin-dependent autophosphorylation of CaMKII and the protein signaling cascade governing the dephosphorylation of CaMKII. As previously shown, two stable states of the CaMKII phosphorylation level exist at resting intracellular calcium concentrations. Repetitive high calcium levels switch the system from a weakly- to a highly phosphorylated state (LTP). We show that the reverse transition (LTD) can be mediated by elevated phosphatase activity at intermediate calcium levels. It is shown that the CaMKII kinase-phosphatase system can qualitatively reproduce plasticity results in response to spike-timing dependent plasticity (STDP) and presynaptic stimulation protocols. A reduced model based on the CaMKII system is used to elucidate which parameters control the synaptic plasticity outcomes in response to STDP protocols, and in particular how the plasticity results depend on the differential activation of phosphatase and kinase pathways and the level of noise in the calcium transients. Our results show that the protein network including CaMKII can account for (i) induction - through LTP/LTD-like transitions - and (ii) storage - due to its bistability - of synaptic changes. The model allows to link biochemical properties of the synapse with phenomenological 'learning rules' used by theoreticians in neural network studies.

Cell Death Pathways Drive Necroinflammation during Acute Kidney InjuryMässenhausen, Anne von, Tonnus, Wulf, Linkermann, Andreas 04 August 2020 (has links)
Renal tubules represent an intercellular unit and function as a syncytium. When acute tubular necrosis was first visualized to occur through a process of synchronized regulated necrosis (SRN) in handpicked primary renal tubules, it became obvious that SRN actually promotes nephron loss. This realization adds to our current understanding of acute kidney injury (AKI)-chronic kidney disease (CKD) transition and argues for the prevention of AKI episodes to prevent CKD progression. Because SRN is triggered by necroptosis and executed by ferroptosis, 2 recently identified signaling pathways of regulated necrosis, a combination therapy employing necrostatins and ferrostatins may be beneficial for protection against nephron loss. Clinical trials in AKI and during the process of kidney transplantation are now required to prevent SRN. Additionally, necrotic cell death drives autoimmunity and necroinflammation and therefore represents a therapeutic target even for the prevention of antibody-mediated rejection of allografts years after the transplantation process.
